I'd like to add that I observe this behavior with Samba 3.2.11;  that is
to say, the Windows 7 RC 7100 will join the Samba domain, report the DNS
error, and then function correctly.  At least it looks good so far!

The registry keys mentioned by Volker were needed, but no testing was 
done with just the first two.
